Many pieces of the puzzle was scatter across the floor. There are holes in my puzzle. Some of it I never knew where it belonged because they all looked the same from afar. I would pick one up and examine it. This piece could lead to others and once that happened, I could solve this puzzle.
Once I gather each piece of the puzzle, I could finally see what the picture was, but it will differ from the one in my head. I truly didn’t like that because I never enjoyed for my mind to be blown from the twist at the end.
“What are you doing?” Juno said as she stepped in her livingroom with a cup of coffee in her left hand. I watched the heat escape from the coffee.
I placed another piece of the puzzle on the floor, as it connected to another piece, but a giant spot was missing.
“I’m trying to connect all the pieces together, but I can’t seem to understand.” I said as I closed my eyes for a few seconds, followed by a deep breath while I opened my mouth exactly like a child blowing a bubble.
Juno got on her knees and studied the puzzle. She then took all of my pieces and quickly connected an entire half of the puzzle. Once she finished, she connected both halves together and created a picture of Ying and Yang.
“What?” My eyes opened as I was shocked to see the entire puzzle.
“I just think of the pieces of the puzzle as small events that leads to something greater or more worst in life. I also loved to think of how an author leave pieces of clues within a book and it is up to the readers to place those clues together. Soon they would realize that the puzzle would reveal that the story would receive a sequel, if the author doesn’t plan to put the entire story in one book.”
I felt as if my life was a giant puzzle that haven’t been solved yet. I thought to myself that maybe Deva was a huge piece of the puzzle because our fate have crossed many times, even before I’ve met her.
I was a piece of the puzzle from a far distance and Deva was on the opposite side. In between us was Eva’s piece that eventually connected us both, but I came with other pieces around and Deva’s pieces were around her as well. Soon those pieces would eventually lead to me and my to hers that would create the main puzzle.
“Do you think we are part of a puzzle story?” I asked, but Juno never lifted up her eyes. She was still staring at the puzzle.
“To be honest, our rebellion and whatever happens next, will soon connect to reveal our fate at the end. I just hope that the entire picture isn’t Fiora’s Purging…”
